How to clean a stove naturally

For years I’ve loathed cleaning my stove top, mainly because I never got time to do it right after I cooked a meal and the grease kept building up until there wasn’t much I could do to get rid of it. Unless I used store bought cleaners which I also hated because they were stinging my eyes and hands and left red spots on my skin. It was literally eating my skin! Not a pretty view but at least the stove was spotless, I should’ve been happy, right?

Wrong! I wanted to try an easier and much healthier way and since I cleaned my pans so successfully with this method, using my citrus vinegar cleaner and baking soda, I figured it should work for my stove top too. I was afraid the mixture won’t be that strong for my super dirty stove so I added fine salt and left the mixture on overnight. It worked really well, except for a little spot which I had to clean again with the same method. My stove was very greasy and had burnt spots so it took some extra work but for a regular stove, it shouldn’t be that hard.

It did take longer than with store bought cleaners but I’m more than happy with the result and especially that I managed to keep my house and lungs free of chemicals and fumes. The citrus vinegar cleaner I used was highly concentrated and in contact with baking soda bubbles up and lifts the grease off the stove. Salt acts as a mild abrasive and will remove stains and melt the grease.

If you don’t have a citrus vinegar cleaner it’s perfectly fine to use regular white wine vinegar and just add a few drops of essential oils of your choice to make it smell nice and cover the vinegar pungent scent (citrus work best in my opinion).
